ben_vulpes: i must be a bad person to even be thinking about the ethnicities involved
ben_vulpes: "The teen has disappeared once before but her mother says she was found later that day in a neighborhood park." heh
mircea_popescu: i suppose i needn't point out the correct verbal tense'd have been "the teen HAD disappeared". no tense left behind!
mircea_popescu: plus it keeps disappearing only to be found in a neighbourhood park.
shinohai: I suppose BU feels that tmsr members must secretly support the blockstream agenda as well.
mircea_popescu: random usg "company" that's supposed to matter in the sense that idiots will pretend so.
shinohai: Blockstream is the company developing the "Lightning Network"
mircea_popescu: typical campbell soup can strategy. "please agree usg matters through the avenue of agreeing it's either usg.corp1 or else usg.corp2 ! engage the controversy!"
ben_vulpes: is this another iceberg of dumb to ignore?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes entirely. at least back in the day they were coming up with "coinbase" they put some effort into it.

mircea_popescu: speaking of which, remember the time when the fake "bitcoin foundation" was a thing ? noticed how it... sorta got dropped ? and nobody felt any strong compulsion to explain or inquire as to... why the fuck ? nor did this lack of intererst seemingly inform any self-examination along the lines of "if this thing could be dropped so easily, what consistency did it really have ???"
shinohai: Bruce Fenton still believes he can bring it back.

mircea_popescu: if i went out with a wrench and threatened people to break their head unless they pay me 100 pesos i'd break all the heads
mircea_popescu: they buy socks on layaway, you understand me ? 50yo dorks trying to look like uni professors, 500 colones worth of merchandise.
mircea_popescu: you can't live off your "interior decoration blog" in the states.
mircea_popescu: and certainly all the "lawyers" that tried made a fine example of themselves.
mircea_popescu: tucker max comes to mind, and there was the recent copycat we discussed.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, that's my point, OUT OF THE FUYCKING QUESTION she can, or that any one who was actually a lawyer would even consider trying.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the fact she says this proves she never was a lawyer, never could have been a lawyer.

mircea_popescu: the notion that she's in a position of power over some male student is perhaps the lulziest bit in there.
diana_coman: eh, give him a bad grade, "dent his self-esteem", "ruin his future" etc
diana_coman: tbh I have no idea why/how would someone go into teaching at this moment; my only hypothesis is that really, really, they have NO other option at all
mircea_popescu: "we pretend young women going out with young men is a big deal in order to thereby prop the nonsensical fiction that taking the absolute worst job there is somehow gives bordeline sleeves "power"."
mircea_popescu: this prosecution is expected to produce a further 3k shoulda-been-a-stripper enrollments into teaching countrywide, and at least 50k more useless undergrads signing up for overpriced college tuition.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman no see, she wants to have power. because she doesn't. and if you go into teaching you have power, because that's why they keep prosecuting them.
mircea_popescu: it's ~same reason dumb pubescent girls went into "witching". siunce people burn witches, it's clearly JUST the thing for a lowly wench with no resources.
mircea_popescu: why do 30yos go around on the software adequate for the needs of a 14yo in 1817 is anyone's guess, but i suppose its proper name is progress.
diana_coman: ugh, I thought it was already more than obvious that no power at all,what with all the assorted "rights" and "child protection" and what nots
mircea_popescu: as always, the empire is consistent, in its batshit insane sort of logic.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman nothing's obvious to the powerless. this is a pleonasm.
diana_coman: that's precisely my point: I get it that some 20 years ago they went into teaching for this reason; meanwhile it's so constricted and day by day more so that ...

mircea_popescu: that'd be like the 1983 soviets confiscating communist international propaganda material

mircea_popescu: that'd be fine employment for what's his name wanna-be da indian. fill tax returns on ipad kbd for the rest of his days.

mircea_popescu: "As reported by Motherboard, a September 2016 filing by a Canadian court revealed that the Dutch police were able to decrypt the PGP-encrypted messages because the Dutch investigators may have found the decryption keys on the seized server itself."
mircea_popescu: wtf is "end to end encryption" in the opinion of that journalist ?
mircea_popescu: yeah but it's a little like wondering why the pollen suspended in water took a left.
mircea_popescu: they're subhuman for a reason, and the reason they're subhuman is exactly this : BRAINDAMAGE.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform recall the lulz about the expired windows on argentina's patriotic pride big screen next to the "national theatre" ?
mircea_popescu: point being, by the time argentina heard of computers in 2010, windows 95 was just coming out.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wasn't bsod. was "this windows is anciend please sir."
mircea_popescu: there;s a reason rms spent his days shuttling from brazil to liberia or wherever the fuck "open source" was "really taking off" once open source was well and truly dead.
mircea_popescu: why did they think it's cool a half year after it was no longer worth the mention ?
mircea_popescu: why the fuck do they think dollars are an investment in 1995 ? it was a fucking investment in 1913, but back THEN they were buying austro-hungarian paper.
mircea_popescu: this is exactly the point, and i suspect the definitional characteristic of orcdom : the inability to distinguish science mag from cosmo. the failure to comprehend ipad is not nor can not be, no matter what happens, the times.
mircea_popescu: "but everyone uses it!" dun matter "but it's really cool!" dun matter "but i really like it!" you're an orc, do the opposite of your natural impulse because your natural impulse is made of shit. etc etc.
mircea_popescu: shockley period americans didn't have much trouble distinguishing car from rickshaw.
mircea_popescu: (there's a reason bar wenches were female, and the reason is, that originally it was a very reasonable way to get yourself mated.)
mircea_popescu: chick knows what she's buying and how much it costs, mebbe-mebbe.
phf: i know a guy who rickshaws (in new york, now in austin), and loved it for that very reason. i think he stopped because young girls don't typically get pedicab, mostly drunken old women who "grab his ass" etc.
mircea_popescu: so he turns around and "ass grabbing carries a twenny dollar fine m'am"
phf: he's not that smooth, though that would be a sop reaction in india
mircea_popescu: contrary to the common fantasy, most betas would actually be a lot fucking happier if they could live in out and out sexual slavery rather than the bs they're stuck with currently.
mircea_popescu: most "bad relationships" are exactly that. bitter moon (the film) if anyone saw that crap is best summarized as "two subbies arguing who should top that evening".
mircea_popescu: phf and i bet the happenstance that friend-describes-him-as-not-smooth and the incidental that no-hot-chicks-take-to-his-bower are entirely and wholly unrelated in his own estimation, if somehow it were to be obtained yes ?
mircea_popescu: head of household or w/e. independent agent at the least.
phf: guy connects to trilema from his android, gets banned, still doesn't reach out to anybody. "oh, i'm sorry, my bad, i will learn to wash ass", something
mircea_popescu: most of the tubes lead nowhere / most of the nerves aren't connected / most of the cables lay buried in a pile of mud.
mircea_popescu: postapocalyptica, yes ? "i wonder what this rope is connected to" "nothing."
mircea_popescu: 50-50 the "intelligent" app just connects him for good measure and behind the screen.

ben_vulpes: heh "current" ppc gentoo build is dated 2014?
ben_vulpes: surely that's not going to be as simple as adding the right CROSS_COMPILE flag to portage conf files, right?
ben_vulpes: what would "the right way" to "cross-compile the whole shebang" be?
ben_vulpes: why, if prosecution relies on "known hashes" are these verboten integers not twiddled ever so slightly for each customer?
ben_vulpes: "thousands of files with the same hash values as known child pornography files"
ben_vulpes: would be funny to re-release all of those files fuzzed ever so slightly
mircea_popescu: the right question is, why doesn't twitter alter all its images on the fly to hit those hashes
mircea_popescu: and the answer is, because twitter is part of usg, not part of the internet.
ben_vulpes: oooh and make a bunch of work for 'ai' image recognition programmers
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: at what point in the toolchain?
mircea_popescu: how exactly were some people capable of geting "hashes" of files they need some dork's password to decrypt ?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: "decrypted mac pro but not external hdds"

phf: i'm not sure the idea is relevant, since you can just have an open channel for funneling already
phf: but it's not advertised anywhere. bulk of random strangers is going t come here

fd_travel: hey to my knowledge quite a bit of tmsr infra is on vps :)
ben_vulpes: do you have a citation for that claim?
fd_travel: i recall checking deedbot's and a111's IPs (digitalocean etc), but hey, if it worx.
☟︎ fd_travel: that said, not the best of arguments.
fd_travel: mk. (anyway, that was inane of me, need to move forward, not sideways)
fd_travel: i wouldn't trust their virtualised 'dedicated box' offer to actually be dedicated but who knows
fd_travel: i wonder how they handle ddos. i mean, maybe your blog is just not baitsy enough :p
ben_vulpes: in other top lols, you can now have a "custom gender" in the google play store
fd_travel: yeah i liked quite a few things about them when i spotted them long ago, micro-precision accounting, etc.
ben_vulpes: shared hosting, traditionally, no? but what else is a vps but shared hosting
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: whoa a whole process? not a connection?
mircea_popescu: in other news, mp takes girl to picnic at neighbourhood park, she goes naked, within 15 minutes there's half a dozen local cops around the blanket being all concerned.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, to my eye the amusing thing is that if you get a nude hottie out in the open, what'll happen is the half dozen boys that'll dare approach will a) be symbolically protected by their magical uniform garb and b) ask for the perturbation in the force be removed OH PLEASE GOD MAKE IT GO AWAY.
mircea_popescu: somewhat at odds with the public imagination of you know, gangrape-till-daybreak (if imaginer is female) or else "they'll start zombieing around with beers, eventually some dude will try to make money renting folding chairs, that sorta thing".
mircea_popescu: anyway, it was lulzy, "let's see your papers" "well i don't carry them" "why not ?" "the embassy told me not to because i'll get robbed." "oh".
mircea_popescu: apparently they're very enamoured with the idea that you get robbed here. nfi why. i guess it keeps them in jobs.
mircea_popescu: i suspect everyone in the field just HAD to come over to see this wonder. i'm guessing they literally never heard of such before.
mircea_popescu: anyway. sarge explained to me that it's not done here. and also wanted to know if i "consume"
mircea_popescu: because, he points out, also not to be done in public.
ben_vulpes: what, he wasn't going to offer you one for the privilege of staring at your babe?
mircea_popescu: i think he was married. there was a very hot and bothared youth. he made it first.
mircea_popescu: i imagine he ran. also i don't imagine he got any this year.
mircea_popescu: was trying to get phones from the people around "for evidence".
diana_coman: that sounds close enough/toward the "make money renting folding chairs" though, doesn't it?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well... considering what's on youtube, i wouldn't be surprised if they had.
diana_coman: so perhaps not that much at odds after all; re the female imagined part, I suspect that has more to do with fact that ... "what'll happen" depends on who gets her out
mircea_popescu: eh. no way in fuck anyone walks up to a naked woman and talks to her.

trinque: ftr, all trb downloads come from a dedicated deeds box I've been happy to run as core infrastructure pro bono.
trinque: those downloads of deeds are coming from my pipe, not "our VPS"
ben_vulpes: this leaves i believe phf's wintermute, with its once-decade of uptime
trinque: strike that, all trb deps mod6 deeded; he is hosting the V stuff.
trinque: and understand, outside of the L1, your opinion on how infrastructure is run is worth nothing, and your "everyone does X, so I can" construction makes you sound like a bed-wetter.
mod6: <+trinque> strike that, all trb deps mod6 deeded; he is hosting the V stuff. << fwiw it's also posted to the ML which is on some other environment.
ben_vulpes: in entirely others topics, gentoo quest ppc edition has stumbled on step boot-from-usb
trinque: mod6: I'm quite happy to host anything that supports trb work
trinque: ben_vulpes: there's some txbi thing in openfirmware
trinque: buncha weird slashes and nonsense spells
mod6: also, I think the idea of deedifying my version of V is also worthwhile... I think I've simply been waiting for it to satisfy the constraints before creating a genesis. Once that's created, then I'd say it'd be worthy of freezing.
ben_vulpes: yeah i got into open firmware, attempted booting from all usb options
trinque: not that you're doing obsd, but the docs there are helpful

ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i don't have any quads yet
ben_vulpes: and if they're water cooled i'll probably pass
trinque: seems like quads are a bit harder to find
ben_vulpes: trinque: probably still in use at graphics hausen
ben_vulpes: this is like a water cooled small plane engine
ben_vulpes: as if the plane weren't stupidly complex enough already, let's bolt another pile of heinous complexity to it as well
ben_vulpes: helicopters are also unconscionably complex devices
ben_vulpes: may as well immerse in mineral oil at that point.
ben_vulpes: the one additional point possibly worth making is that don't run your engines hot if you want them to last.

pete_dushenski: myea, that's next step for sure. was trying to configure dual boot for no other reason than that i like the idea of 10.4 in the house. but that's probably a lost cause. there's only so much time to dump into the sinkhole.
phf: pretty sure it won't, i even read a reason for it, but don't recall what it is anymore
